I'm using NetBSD-0.8 and I'm having some trouble getting swap to work
on my second ide drive.

I built a new kernel with the following options:

config          "386bsd"        root on wd0 swap on wd0 and wd1

controller      isa0
controller      wdc0    at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr
disk            wd0     at wdc0 drive 0
disk            wd1     at wdc0 drive 1


But when the kernel boots I notice some strange differances from the stock
kernel that comes with NetBSD. I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong
but I don't have a clue.

BTW, I copied the GENERICISA file and only made a few mods:

janis:conf {2} diff JANIS GENERICISA
7,8c7,8
< ident         JANIS
< timezone      5 dst
---
> ident         GENERICISA
> timezone      8 dst

< config                "386bsd"        root on wd0 swap on wd0 and wd1
---
> config                "386bsd"        root on wd0 swap on wd0 and sd0
